On Sunday, August 12, 2012, Julia Fulton Williams Alvey 87 of Lusby, MD died of natural causes at Solomons Nursing Center. Mrs. Alvey had been fighting dementia for the past five years.

She was the granddaughter of John Sharp Williams, U.S. Senator from Mississippi in the early 1900s. Julia Alvey was born in Memphis, TN and grew up in Washington, DC. Most of her adult life she and her husband lived in Arlington, VA, where she raised her children and was an active member of Little Falls Presbyterian Church. In 1981, Bob and Julia Alvey retired to Hawley Manor Farm in Dameron, MD, where she lived for about the next 26 years. The last five years of her life, Mrs. Alvey was a resident of Solomons Nursing Center.

A long time member of Our Father's House Assembly of God Church (formerly Patuxent River Assembly of God) in California, MD, Mrs. Alvey was very active and devoted to her church. In addition to attending services there, she volunteered to work in the administrative offices. Mrs. Alvey also formerly served one term as an elected member of the Republican Central Committee of St. Mary's County and volunteered at the Pregnancy Care Center of Southern MD.

Julia Alvey was well-known for her easy going manner, positive outlook, and good sense of humor, as well as her deep and abiding faith in Jesus Christ. Her kindness, enthusiasm, and devotion to church and family will be sorely missed by all.

Survivors include their three children, Paul (Stony) Robert Alvey, Jr. (Wendy) of Rockville, MD; Tracy Alvey Huley (Peter) of Burlington, NC; and Christopher Townley Alvey (Karen) of Lusby, MD. She also leaves behind six grandchildren - Krista Huley Ingle (Mark) of Louisville, CO; Kevin Michael Alvey (Angela) of Burke, VA; Colleen Hart Huley of Queens, NY; Bryan David Alvey of Los Angeles, CA; Jason Christopher Alvey of Lusby, MD; and Lindsay Caitlin Alvey of Lusby, MD; and two great grandsons - James Wagoner Ingle and Cooper Madden Ingle, also of CO.

She was predeceased by her parents, Christopher Harris Williams and Gladys Virginia Walter Williams, brother, Christopher Harris Williams, and sister, Gladys Walter Williams Scott, and by her husband, Paul Robert (Bob) Alvey, who died in 1983, after 38 years of marriage.
